What Is Gushing Over Magical Girls About?
Based on Akihiro Ononaka’s manga Mahō Shōjo ni Akogarete, the story follows Utena Hiiragi, an ordinary middle school student who loves magical girls.
Her life takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious talking mascot gives her the ability to transform. Instead of becoming a magical girl herself, Utena finds herself on the side of evil as Magia Baiser.
The series follows her unusual journey as she confronts the magical girls she once admired, mixing comedy, fantasy and provocative themes.
Season 1 and Manga Background
The first season premiered in January 2024, airing on AT-X, Tokyo MX, BS11, Sun TV and KBS Kyoto. HIDIVE streamed the series internationally, offering its less-censored streaming version.
The anime originally had three versions: a censored television broadcast edition, a streaming version with some visual and audio censorship, and an uncensored “ultra-gushing” home-video edition.
Ononaka launched the original manga in 2019. After Manga Life Storia ceased publication, the series moved to Takeshobo’s Storia Dash website. It went on hiatus in March 2024 due to the author’s health before resuming serialization in October 2025.
With the manga reaching more than three million copies in circulation worldwide, including digital editions, the franchise continues to attract readers. The second season is now scheduled for 2027, although Kadokawa has not announced an exact premiere date.
